#Aspire

"You will never know how high you can climb until you reach the top."

"Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn't think about 'Harry Potter' when I wrote 'The Bone Season.'"

"Dream big and never give up on those dreams. Who knows where they'll take you?"

"My name is a half an hour early, but my body is on time."

"The true measure of a man is not what he dreams, but what he aspires to be; a dream is nothing without action. Whether one fails or succeeds is irrelevant; all that matters is that there was motion in his life. That alone affects the world."

"Faith is love taking the form of aspiration."

"She has a sly smile, and eyes that seem to see my essence as they explore my soul and implore my spirit to enter her. I look at her and I see love."

"Love now, not later. Also, love later."

"Life, it’s made up of two things—time and love. A watch tells one, but what tells the other? We tell each other."
